I watched the documentary in Danish TV saturday 27th April 2013, and I was and I am still so moved, quiet and sad about this tragedy. But I am also aware that man on eart always have been doing things like that - further, longer, faster. In this special case me and my family will send all our thoughs and prayers to the loved memory of Andrew and his dear Family and relatives. As a sailor on a small hobby basis here in Denmark I know, how powerful the Sea and the waves are, so wiht that in mind I send you all my deepest respect for this spectacular but also tragic attempt.

Andy was my uncle and i know some people may criticise what he did and may say he was heartless and a failure but you cant judge him al you like but you don't know him he was truly an incredible man and will always be remembered in our family as an amazing man he did what he loved and had a true passion and he got of his bum and tried to change history which is more than i can say about a lot of people finlay is so proud of him dad and so he should be and yes he will not have a father to grow up with but the has the most incredible mum and amazing family to look after him he is now 8 and is really good and thank you to everyone who left such lovely comments i will pass them on to finlay and vicki R.I.P Andy you were and amazing man and you are missed every day i love you x

I have watched the doco three times now ans asked my children to watch it with me last night. So sad, so sad, so sad. Prayers and thoughts for Vicki and Finlay, that they retain all teh special memories of Andrew.

Just watched the documentary &quot;on National Geographic Channel at June 29th 2012 @ 2am in the USA. never heard of this life story. it was great to see his strength and how sad the 1st launch went with him crying hard as his son kept saying bye dad. You could feel the pull to do this and the pull he had to come back to his family.

I hope his son and wife are doing well...shocking how old his son must be now (mabe 9 or 10???)

I watched the documentary about Andrew last night. I can honestly say that it really moved me so much that I had to google his name this morning to see if I could find out more about him. It was so tragic for him to make it so far yet to lose his life in those final kilometres. However, he achieved what no-one else had, I just wish he was still here to realise that achievement.

Victoria Hardy,Im just sitting in my room and im watching the program about this extremely brave man who loved adventure Im so sorry for the belated condolences that i send to Andrews family my thoughts are with you all
